TEH, 05 Feb 2015i own this phone. the call quality is the worse i had. people on the other side cant hear me p... morePhone call experience is great on this phone. Either your network is bad or Your phone might hv an issue..pls go get it checked..still under warranty.

Anyone know if this phone is 3g or 4g capable inside usa? I'm currently with at&t but would gladly switch to verizon or sprint to be able to use this phone. I will be travelling through china for another 4-5 weeks and could buy one before i leave. No one in stores here can tell me if it will work with usa carriers and i find conflicting information online.

In daily use this device does not get hot by any means.

I picked up the Elite model (2gb / 16gb) version yesterday in China and was able to update OTA from Funtouch 1.16 (4.3) to 1.2 (4.3), then a big 600mb+ update to Funtouch 2.0 (4.4.2). KK build date is 2015-02-09 so it's been out a few weeks already.

MINI REVIEW:

As for the phone, it's a very nice device with an outstanding camera. Beats my Note 4 for picture quality and ease of use with the dedicated 2-stop button.

I think 5.2-inch is the sweet spot for device size: easy to use in one hand whilst being large enough for media and reading. Battery life is 5.5 hours which is excellent from 2,600mAh. Again, compares well to 6 hours from 3,000mAh Note 4 (I know it's 1920 vs 2560).

Great build quality and still plenty fast enough (42k Antutu) for my use - genuinely don't need the extra RAM or 12% boost from 801AC. Good price too at 2,400 RMB (~$US385).

Overall, if you're wanting an outstanding camera phone that is also really good in other areas, it's a recommended buy.

Additionally, whilst I usually prefer grey or black phones I opted for white this time because the black version, despite having a nice pattern, was glossy and incredibly shiny. It's a fingerprint magnet whereas the white is a matte finish so looks fine. There is a slim, transparent case in the box which would help prevent smudges on the black model but it also make it look less nice. And I always go called anyway.

Also picked up the new Xiaomi Mi Note for 2,300 RMB. 90% same as my Note 4 so keeping these two, selling the Note 4 for 5,000 RMB and making a small profit.

summer, 31 Dec 2014hi indo,
thanks for advise..
by the way, is vivo xshot able to update the OS? currently is 4.3So far no update from 4.3, i got two update thin 2015, but still on android 4.3. I heard rumor in vivo facebook group, that update to kitkat still in progress. You can port FunTouch 2.0 to your vivo that still in beta version, and it will run on android kitkat. But i can only inform you that far, i cant read thai language, and google translate does not help much....

i've been using it for almost a month and it's quite good.. i'm using the 2gb ram model but i prefer if it was 3gb ram model.. the battery is surprising, it is 2600mah but it can hold just like a 2800-3000mah battery phone.. i got an average of 4-4.5 hours of screen on time(wifi) with gaming, msging, instagram, and browsing..built quality was great for me..camera was also good with many settings

You will likely to accidentally press the camera button at the right lower side when holding the phone. It's annoying. Otherwise the camera is so far one of the best, wide angle with f/1.8 aperture definitely fast.
